Vulkan implementation of ReSTIR

An official implementation of the paper "Real-Time Shading of Free-Form Area Lights using Linearly Transformed Cosines". Please refer to README for the setup instruction.

PAL is a proof-of-concept project supporting the method of algebraic approximation of area lights in real-time shading.

My thesis. Clustered forward rendering of thousands of LTC polygonal lights in a custom glTF 2.0 PBR renderer in C & OpenGL 4.5. Focused on accurate long range specular culling and tight diffuse culling.

Project developed as an assignment for my COMP 371 (Introduction to Computer Graphics) course at Concordia. It is a Raytracer that renders images with local or global illumination based on input provided from a JSON file. It contains features such as anti-aliasing, area-lights, point lights, occlusion, soft shadows, ...
